Abstract

Purpose. To present a clinical case of Bloch — Sulzberger syndrome.

Material and methods. The examinations were performed to diagnose the disease: а visual examination of the skin, cytological analysis of the gallbladder fluid, general and biochemical blood tests, genetic research.

Results. During a visual examination of the skin, a differential diagnosis was made with infectious dermatitis, toxic-allergic dermatitis, epidermolysis bullosa and linear IgA-dependent dermatosis in children. Crucial in the diagnosis belonged to a genetic study, after which a deletion of exons 4—10 of the IKBKG gene was detected, which confirmed Bloch — Sulzberger syndrome.

Conclusion. Newborns with vesicle-bullous rashes entering the neonatal pathology department and observed by neonatologists require a thorough examination, a mandatory consultation of a dermatologist in order to determine further management tactics.
